Jiang Ruo'ang's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of Bo Yun's strange gloom flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Mutar in front of him and said softly: "What do you know?"
Mutar didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently: "What do you know? I don't know anything."
"I just know that we Yi people want to live, and the best way to live is to stand with the governor."
"This world belongs to Da Qin after all."
"The millions of Great Qin cavalry are already an unstoppable beast, let alone one more Chen Fengchang now?"
"Do you think there is still hope?"
"Instead of being in a hopeless hell, suffering and watching your enemies become stronger day by day, it is better to get out of this hopeless hell and find another helper."
"Left and right, there is no hope for you."
"Is not it?"
After Mutar said this, he stood up.
He looked at Jiang Ruo'ang condescendingly, and then said: "Chief Jiang should think about it carefully and see which option is most beneficial."
After finishing speaking, Mutar turned around and walked outside.
Before he could leave the room, Jiang Ruoang let out a long sigh.
"what do you want?"
Mutar did not look back, but said calmly and calmly: "What do I want?"
"As I said just now, I just want the people of the Yi tribe to live well."
"But now, someone wants us dead."
"Then I can only stand up and resist."
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Jiang Ruo'ang sitting there alone.
After a long pause, Jiang Ruoang sighed.
He turned around and walked into the ancestral hall, and then walked into a dark room somewhere in the ancestral hall.
There are plaques lined up in the darkroom. These are the ancestors of the Jiang family.
The first one was Mr. Jiang Ziya.
His ancestor is Jiang Ziya!
They were the original masters of Qi State, but they were later replaced by the Tian family and usurped the throne of Qi State.
Jiang Ruoang placed a stick of incense in front of the plaque, his expression solemn and solemn.
"Ancestor, now that the critical moment has come, how should the descendants choose?"
The smoke turned into a wisp of blue snake-gray bird and flew up into the sky, lingering for a long time.

In a dark mine
Several Lai Yi people and some people wearing tattered clothes were standing there. Their faces were sallow and thin, and they looked very weak.
They are dying.
One of the young men had a gloomy face. He looked at the people working in the distance and gritted his teeth.
"Are we going to continue?"
"It's better to destroy this mine!"
"Even if he dies, I will never let that beast have an easy time!"
The rest of the people looked at him with resignation in their eyes, and they would support whatever he said.
Under such gaze, the man felt a little moved in his heart.
After a moment, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll wait for half a month."
"We can still last half a month."
"If Mutar hasn't found a way to save us, we will have no choice but to die together with this thief!"
...........
Governor's Palace
Chen Ke sat in the room with a little thought in his eyes.
He was thinking about spring plowing and what would happen after it.
Chen Ke originally prepared more time to clean up the debris in Penglaizhou, but now it seems that the situation in Penglaizhou is not that complicated.
Huo Shi is a capable person, and he handles most things in Linzi County well.
As for Jiang Ruoang in Jiaodong County, he doesn't look like a good guy, but he seems to have other hidden agendas and is plotting something.
What’s even more coincidental is that Chen Ke still remembers another thing——
The State of Qi originally belonged to Jiang Ziya and his descendants.
Two people with the same surname Jiang are both in the hometown of Qi. Is there such a coincidence?
The rest are some local Lai Yi people.
Penglaizhou is a place where the Lai Yi people and the Central Plains people of China live together. Here the two ethnic groups are mixed together.
This is due to the struggle between princes for hegemony a hundred years ago.
The process of the princes competing for hegemony objectively promoted national integration and partial unification, and this unification was the integration of various so-called "barbarians" with the Chinese.
For example, the Lai Yi, Beidi, Nanman, Xirong, and Dongyi.
Except for the Central Plains, they all seem to be barbarians.
Originally, in Chen Ke's view, the Dongyi, or Laiyi tribe, on Penglai Continent were very difficult to get along with.
But now it seems that it is not that difficult.
Because Wang Kande has forced the Yi people into a desperate situation in the past ten years.
This desperate situation has continuously lowered the bottom line of the Laiyi people.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke even wanted to laugh.
Wang Kande was smart all his life, but in the end he was trapped in a cocoon.
Before he came, he had already made himself ready to die.
Of course, if it weren't for everything Chen Ke did in Xianyang City, as well as the persecution of Confucianism and the legacy of the Six Kingdoms, and finally the strangulation of Xiang Yu and others, Wang Kande's actions would still be useful.
This is called "moving one hair and moving the whole body".
The changes made by Chen Ke were like pushing the first domino and causing a series of changes.
"yawn."
Chen Ke yawned. The situation was basically clear now. All he needed was to find a perfect and irrefutable reason to kill Wang Kande.
And this is also very simple.
There are ready reasons.
What he needs to prepare now is what will happen after killing Wang Kande.
Chen Ke took out the book in his sleeve. This was something Zuo Ge had given him before he came. He said it recorded some of Mozi's inventions, mechanisms, etc.
He stood up and prepared to look for people from the Gongshu clan and the Mo family.
He had a whole new idea.
Just as he was about to go out, a boy came over, looking in a hurry.
"Reporting to the governor, Jiang Ruo'ang, the governor of Jiaodong County, is asking for an audience."
Jiang João?
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows. He had just thought about him, but now he appeared?
This guy just can’t help but think about it.
"Let him in."
After a moment, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard, and a figure appeared, it was Jiang Joao.
After Jiang Ruoang walked into the courtyard, the first thing he saw was Chen Ke sitting on a deck chair and lying on his hands.
Wearing a spring shirt, he showed a bit of grace. He looked cool and comfortable, not like a governor of a state, but more like a young man.
However, Jiang Ruoang did not dare to take this lightly.
"The guilty minister Jiang Ruoang has met the governor."
Chen Ke smiled slightly: "Guilty minister?"
He looked into Jiang Ruo'ang's eyes: "What did Governor Jiang say? How did he become a criminal?"
Although Chen Ke's tone was smiling and full of doubts, Jiang Ruo'ang could hear it.
There was clearly no confusion or doubt in these words, but only understanding, ridicule, and a hint of coldness.
He understood immediately.
It seemed that everything he did was in the eyes of the governor.
"The guilty minister is guilty. In recent years, the guilty minister has been coerced by Wang Kande, the governor of Linzi County, and has to obey his orders."
"Failure to devote one's life to the Qin Dynasty is one of my crimes."
"The second crime I am responsible for is that I should not have helped Wang Kande plunder the Lai Yi people."
"My third crime is that I should not have helped Wang Kande conceal his private digging of iron ore."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ruoang kowtowed directly, and blood flowed from his forehead and fell on the bluestone floor.
Suddenly, the green and red colors alternated, looking very gorgeous.
Chen Ke didn't speak, just remained silent.
When Jiang Ruoang saw that Chen Ke didn't speak, he didn't dare to stop. He just kowtowed again and again.
After a while, his forehead was bruised and bruised, looking extremely miserable.
At this time, Chen Ke said: "Okay, get up."
He looked at Jiang Ruo'ang and said, "The Qin Dynasty can tolerate people, and so can your majesty. I, a minister, can also tolerate the next Jiang family."
Chen Ke smiled and said in a nonchalant tone: "But your guilt can be avoided by death, but you cannot escape by living."
"Hand over four-fifths of your family's property to fill the national treasury."
"This will absolve you of the guilt."
"Are you willing?"
Jiang Joao's hands were trembling, not out of anger, but out of surprise and excitement.
Just four-fifths of the family property can exempt you from guilt?
This is simply a great thing!
You know, Jiang Ruoang has already made preparations to hand over all his family property to the governor so that he can keep one of his family members.
Now it is just the family property, and it has not been completely handed over, but one fifth has been retained...
What a blessing this is?
Moreover, he heard another thing from Chen Ke's tone.
He asked incredulously: "You...you don't plan to remove my official position?"
Chen Ke glanced at Jiang Ruo'ang in surprise: "Why do you want to remove your official position?"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to react: "Oh, I'll fine you twenty years' salary."
"Okay, okay, if nothing happens, go back."
"Remember to count the money and land and hand them over to the Governor's Mansion."
Jiang Ruoang left the Governor's Mansion with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he was in a dream.
Chen Ke curled his lips and looked at Jiang Ruo'ang's leaving figure: "Want to escape? Fart."
"How can such a good tool man let you go if he doesn't give you a good squeeze?"
"Work for nothing for me!"
Chen Ke chuckled, then walked to the study, took out a piece of paper, and started writing something on the paper.
The first sentence is
"I send my regards to Your Majesty."
In it, I wrote down all the recent events, and then added a sentence when I wrote about the Jiang family affairs.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"I secretly try to figure out your Majesty's heart. Your Majesty is so virtuous and virtuous, and your magnanimity is overwhelming. Emperor Shun once forgave his younger brother in the past. I feel that your Majesty's magnanimity is even greater."
"Therefore, I decided to deal with the Jiang family privately."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me."
After writing this, I wrote a few interesting things I encountered these days at the end of the letter to share with Ying Zheng.
Finally, I added another sentence.
"I think about your Majesty day and night, and I only regret that the mountains are thousands of miles away and I cannot express my thoughts and respect for your Majesty."
"I burst into tears when I heard the letter, and I didn't know what to say."
